Featured Comments/Tips
People often refer to 'Pudhupettai' as a cult classic but rarely explain why. Here’s why: the film’s gritty, realistic portrayal of the underworld and its depiction of gangsters from the slums, combined with the concept of "survival of the fittest" in the cutthroat world of organized crime, make it stand out. It shows how Kokki Kumar navigates a ruthless criminal environment where only the strongest and most strategic survive. Additionally, it is the first Indian film shot in Super 35 format. Dhanush’s intense performance as Kokki Kumar and Yuvan Shankar Raja’s evocative soundtrack greatly enhance the film’s emotional impact. What sets the movie apart in Tamil cinema is its unique narrative style, along with impressive cinematography by Mari Selvaraj and editing for its time.
